Hazel lifted Seren out of her bouncer cradling her against her chest before sitting back on her knees and standing Seren on her thighs. In the 4 months she'd been alive, Seren had always shown a deep hatred for the dreaded 'tummy time', but given at 4.5 months old, she could fairly consistently keep her own head up for a solid 2 minutes at a time it was clearly paying off. "You're my little star" Hazel whispered, before giving her a kiss on the forehead and turning to Mat as he spoke. "Sure" she replied, still using the voice she spoke in with her daughter, before realising what she'd done "Yeah, it's still ... soooo... earlyyyy... lets take her somewhere."
Josh pulled her in closer, kissing the crown of her head as he did. Sometimes she needed comforting, and he understood that. Pulling back, he tipped her chin up to look at him, and smiled down at her. "Hey, idiot, you're only a grumpy bitch sometimes, and besides, you make absolutely kickass brownies to make up for it" He half whispered at her, his tone calm and reassuring.
